Abstract:
Devices and methods of reducing UE power consumption are generally described. The UE selects a D2D path or cellular path to use for data communication to an eNB based on at least one of presence of a master UE, a pathloss and transmission power of the D2D and/or cellular path. The UE receives mobility information from the master UE, either an indication that cell selection or handover is to be undertaken or information of the target cell for the UE, in which case the UE does not initiate cell selection or handover. Afterwards, the UE communicates with a target eNB based on the received mobility information.
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment provides an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause said apparatus to determine that a path switch can be initiated during a handover of a user equipment from a first access node to a second access node, determine at least one condition for initiating the path switch, postpone the initiation of the path switch until the at least one condition has been met, and in response to determining that the at least one condition has been met, indicate the initiation of the path switch to the first access node or the second access node.
Abstract:
A distributed software defined network (SDN) packet core system is configured to support a plurality of radio access technologies. The distributed SDN packet core system can include a cloud-based SDN centralized infrastructure instance and a plurality of local SDN infrastructure instances distributed in proximity to wireless access networks and radio access points thereof. The cloud-based centralized SDN infrastructure instance can be configured to handle network operations that are not latency sensitive. Each local SDN infrastructure instance can include a plurality of computer devices configured to execute a plurality of RAT specific control-plane modules and a plurality of RAT independent packet processing modules for performing latency sensitive network operations.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a discovery signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving a threshold value broadcasted from a cell; measuring a quality of a first channel from the cell; and when the quality of the first channel is below the threshold value, transmitting the discovery signal for establishing a device to device (D2D) link with a relay UE.

Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from rerouting considerations. For example, fifth generation (5G) systems dealing with radio link failure detection and data rerouting, particularly mmWave 5G systems, may benefit from rapid rerouting methods and systems. A method can include transmitting, from an access point, a downlink control message to a user equipment. The method can also include attempting to detect a Fast-ACK transmission signal from the user equipment in response to the transmitted downlink control message. The method can further include transmitting a rerouting request for the user equipment when the Fast-ACK transmission signal is not detected.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method in a node, eNB, of a cellular network for supporting mobility, to a method in a user equipment for supporting mobility to in the cellular network, and to corresponding devices, namely user equipment and node. According to one aspect, a method for supporting mobility in a cellular network is provided. The method runs in a node, eNB, for the cellular network. According to the method, the node receives from a user equipment, an information of a radio link failure of a radio link between the user equipment and the cellular network and the node receives information related to a mobility, e.g. expiry of T312 timer, of the user equipment. Based on the received information, the node adjusts at least one mobility parameter to increase robustness of mobility. The present invention improves robustness of mobility functions in a cellular network.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) scheduler which is scheduling a TCP flow between a first peer (7) and an MPTCP capable second peer (2). The method comprises setting up the TCP flow comprising at least two sub-flows (8) connecting the MPTCP capable second peer, each sub-flow being associated with an address for the MPTCP capable second peer. The method also comprises receiving external information relating to at least one of the at least two sub-flows. The method also comprises scheduling data in the TCP flow based on the received external information, wherein the scheduling comprises choosing which sub-flow or sub-flows of the at least two sub-flows to schedule the data via, based on the received external information. The present disclosure also relates to an MPTCP scheduler as well as an MPTCP proxy and an MPTCP capable peer comprising such a scheduler.
